[Private to Vesper]

Congratulations. [But lbr he's mentioned that before now. Which means he's got something else on his mind.] Where are you?

[Public]

[And a little later, once he's realized just what the Admiral's announcement means, he clicks back on publicly. He's plenty wary now, because the Admiral is just flat out not to be trusted, but he's never been one to run from something new.]

Assuming I'm not just speaking to the Barge...[There's a little twitch in his lip; he's very, very tempted to just say, 007 reporting for duty, because he thinks he's very, very funny. But given he has no idea who's listening, he manages to restrain himself.

Besides, his name is just as good.]

This is Bond, James Bond. If there's anyone from my world listening, speak up.

For now. Planning on changing it in the new year? [Dear God do not tell him. :c]

2006. You work for MI6? [He feels like he should be saying 'sir,' but that is the precise reason he's not.]

[mallories]

I will.

( he supposes that it'll make things much easier if he just pretends that he's yet to be called 'M' and he's yet to become head of MI6. even though he is already. god why are you always so difficult. )

And no, I do not. I believe you once referred to me as a 'bureaucrat', to one of your colleagues.

[lastrat]

[God, for once it's not his fault, okay]

I'm paralyzed with anticipation. [But not really, because he's moving on.]

Did I? [Or should it be do I, no fuck this noise.] At least it was accurate, then.

[mallories]

Yes, quite.

( so shameful, ugh. but strangling you in inadvisable, so no. )

Glad to see that you hardly changed.

[lastrat]

[Very inadvisable, since one of them would probably end up dead, lbr]

Such a shame I can't share that sentiment. It's been lovely meeting you, Mr. Mallory. [Even though his tone says NOPE.]
